Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Giganic government sucks. The suit of Happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile of a suit
of happiness on your radio. Toile justice cheeseburg is a
liberty rise at the food.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
According to a new report, most Americans say they are
below average it's singing. I guess they must always forget
that when they're at karaoke night. Hi, I'm Kenny Webster.
You turn on your radio. It's good to be with
you this afternoon, and there's a lot happening here. I
think you could break up this show into two halves.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Today.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
The first half of the show will be all about retribution.
We're going to talk about people in federal government in
the media who have done bad things over the past
few years and are now being punished for it. In
the second half of the show, we're going to talk
about renewables. Renewables, Yeah, renewable energy. I have a friend
and he works in the energy industry, works in the
(01:01):
petrochemical industry as a consultant, and he is an advocate
for renewables. Now, before you turn the radio and to
a different channel, I think to yourself, I don't want
to hear a bunch of climate change nonsense.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Neither does he.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
He actually makes the point that a lot of climate
change theorists are ruining the industry and actually making pollution
worse because they're spewing out so much junk science that
it's causing people to believe that the idea of renewable
energy is a bad idea, if such a thing is
even possible. And I'm going to challenge him a lot,
but stick around because we're gonna have a debate. I
(01:35):
actually agree with this guy in a lot of points
he's making. I just don't think solar panels are the future,
and frankly, I'm not sure that's what he thinks either.
But stick around. We'll talk about it before we get
to any of that. At report at Breitbart dot Com
today breaks down how alex Mark Kart alex Markkhart is
his name. He's CNN's chief national security correspondent. He just
walked out the door at the fake news network. He's
(01:56):
been forced out actually after a settlement from a defamation
case which they lost in court. The whole news story
actually stems back to twenty twenty one. CNN at the
time was very desperate to provide Joe Biden some cover
during his catastrophic surrender to the Taliban in Afghanistan. There's
really no other way of explaining it. So they needed
(02:18):
to create a villain, and a villain that wasn't named
Joe Biden. So Jake Tapper ran a story that defamed
a Navy veteran named Zachary Young. Zachary Young is a
They made it sound like he was a heartless criminal
operating a black market that exploited people in Afghanistan to
escape from the Taliban.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Here's a problem, it wasn't really true.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Tapper explained the story to his very gullible audience, said
things like quote, Afghans trying to get out of the
country face a black market full of promises and demands
on exorbitant fees and no guarantee of safety. But none
of that was true. It certainly wasn't true about this
guy named Young. We know that because internal Tech showed
CNN was out to annihilate this young man.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
So that's exactly what they did.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Alex flat out said he wanted to nail this Zachary
Young mf or and promised that his story would be
Young's funeral. That's an exact quote. Alex's editor Matthew Phillips
was awfully excited and texted him back quote, gonna hold
you to that cowboy. The CNN senior editor Fuzz Hogan
then chimed in by calling Young a s word. That
(03:27):
was their clever banter back and forth. Now, anyone who
understands Jake Tapper or CNN and how it works over
in the regime media probably understands the goal here. They
needed to create a new villain, someone for that week's
two minutes of hate and a way to take some
of the heat off Joe Biden. So Zachary Young took
CNN to court an he won. The jury found that
CNN had smeared Zachary Young. They awarded him five million
(03:50):
dollars in damages. The jury then went back to decide
punitive damages, and that's when CNN settled the case for
an undisclosed sum of money, probably millions of dollars. It's
all happened back in January, and since then, Jake Tapper
has seen his ratings hit record low, his reputation sunk
even lower because of that book he wrote about Joe
Biden's mental decline and the best news is that the
(04:12):
toxic Alex Markhart is no longer employed at CNN. He
should have been fired the moment it became obvious the
story was fake, which was back in twenty twenty two
when CNN apologized to Daniel Young on the air. But
CNN hires people to produce fake news, so that would
never happen. The delay was apparently based on some sort
of internal review. Alex Markuhart explained his exit on social media.
(04:37):
He said, quote some personal news. I'm leaving CNN after
eight terrific years. Tough to say goodbye, but it's been
an honor to work among the very best in the business.
Profound thank you to my comrades, comrades on the National
security team. Guys, the media continues to light to all
(05:00):
the time, constantly, and this is just one more person
that's been chased away from the regime media for getting
blatantly caught not just pushing fake news, but being punished
for their fake news. There are so many of these
examples lately, so many different people that seemed like they
were too big to fail who either got kicked out
or demoted. Ruth Marcus at the Washington Post, she was
(05:22):
a columnist not there anymore. Five point thirty eight was
the Disney ABC News polling site. They don't even use
it anymore. They shut it down. Paul Krugman always wrong
at The New York Times, that columnist has been forced
to quit. Jim Acosta, the CNN anchor, forced to quit.
Nora O'Donnell, a failed CBS news anchor, forced out.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Chuck Todd.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
That was NBC's former Meet the Press host he had
to lead because of DEI. They replaced him with a
black woman, Andrea Mitchell. NBC designed she was a little
too old. It was time to go. Oh Chris Wallace,
the famous son of somebody who knows he's kicked out
a CNN. Joy Reid, the racist MSNBC news anchor two
racist for even MSNBC just amazing. And then there was
(06:06):
Neil Cavudo, the Fox News anchor and notable anti Trumper,
scurried away. Alex Wagner demoted at MSNBC, Olivia Newzy out
of New York Magazine for allegedly stalking RFK Junior. Remember
that story she sent him nude photos? How quickly we forget.
The list goes on and on and on. Lester Halt, Ryan,
(06:26):
Lisa bill Owens, Wendy McMahon, so many different people kicked
out of news outlets like NBC, The Washington Post, sixty minutes, CNN.
We were right, they were wrong. I don't celebrate people
losing their jobs, but look, when you lie to millions
of people for a living, there has to be some punishment.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of happiness on KPRC nine
point fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Dozens of people in eighteen states have become sick from
food poisoning tied to cucumbers. In other words, a quke
can make you puke. Don't eat them, Ladies and gentlemen, Hi,
welcome back. I'm Kenny Webster. In a little bit, I'm
going to be joined by an advocate for the Maha movement,
and he's also an advocate for renewable energies.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
His name is Jesse Henry. He is an author, he
does TED talks.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And he and I probably don't agree on everything, but
I bet we agree on a lot. We're going to
find some common ground, probably debate a little bit. It's
interesting too when you meet these people, because I just
read this report. Genetic analysis reveals the bacteria responsible for
leprosy existed in America long before European settlers arrived here,
and I think thanks to RFK Junior, it's making a comeback.
(07:42):
I'm kidding, but it is interesting how we get blamed
as white European people with European lineage. We get blamed
for all of the problems here in the western half
of the world, as if life was better in North
America when it was just cannibalism that sort of thing.
But I digress us Senator John Cornyn, maybe life was
(08:05):
better before he was here.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
That was a weird segue, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I wanted to talk about John Corny and John Cornyn
is running for office right now against Ken Paxton. One
of them is the senior senator of the state of Texas,
the other is the attorney attorney general. According to some
new polling data published at Breitbart dot Com today, Cornyn
is facing worsening poll numbers. He should probably decide to
just drop out at this point. According to the poll
(08:31):
released Tuesday, Cornyn would lose a twenty sixteen twenty twenty
six Republican primary race to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton
by twenty points. Paxton is already at fifty percent support,
Cornyn twenty eight percent support. So there's a polling group
called the UP one Insight Poll. They surveyed six hundred
Republican primary voters state wide in Texas from May twenty
(08:54):
seventh to the twenty eighth. The margin of area is
plus or minus four points. Okay, So when you're twenty
points ahead with a margin of era of four points,
I think we know what's going to happen here. What's
even worse news for John Cornyn is that only twenty
seven percent of those polled want him to serve another term.
(09:14):
Fifty four percent, more than half want him out. John
Cornyn is seventy three years old. He's been in the
US Senate since two thousand and two. This is the
second recent poll to show John Cornyn in serious re
election trouble. Last month, there was a Senate Leadership Fund poll.
It showed he was down sixteen points to Paxton. Not
(09:37):
even a three way contest that includes Representative Wesley Hunt
can bail John Cornyan out. Ken Paxton still wins the
primary with forty four percent support to Cornyn's thirty four percent.
Hunt receives nineteen percent of the vote. I actually, honestly,
I like Ken Paxton or Wesley Hunt. Obviously I wonder
(09:58):
if Wesley be a better senator, but I digress. He's
not running, so frankly, I hope Ken Paxton wins, and
he probably will. Cornyan's popularity here in Texas took a
major hit during the Joe Biden administration. It probably should
have happened years beforehand, but Senator John Corny had played
a critical role in twenty twenty two working to help
(10:19):
Joe Biden pass gun control legislation. He funded state red
flag laws that hindered many gun purchases. In twenty twenty three,
he served as a key force behind the scenes negotiating
the Senate's pro migration bill. He ultimately voted against the
legislation after McConnell gave Republicans his blessing to oppose it,
but it was pretty obvious he was going to support it,
(10:41):
and most people in Texas probably know that, especially the
kind of people that vote in a primary. Now, unless
there's some bizarre twist, whoever wins the Republican primary in
Texas will almost certainly win the general election. Democrats and
their corporate media allies have spent two decades attempting to
gaslight people into believing Texas is on the cusp of
(11:02):
turning blue. If anything, the state became rhetor in recent years.
So what in the world John Cornyn was thinking when
he backed a Democrat gun control bill, an absurdly unnecessary
immigration bill. It's beyond me. I don't know what he
was thinking. It's one thing to be a centrist. It's
another thing to look like a sucker and a squish
in a liberal shill backing gun control. When you represent
(11:26):
the biggest conservative state in America, Texas, Texas. You supported
gun control and you're from Texas. Even liberal Democrats own
guns in Texas. You backed an immigration bill that would
have allowed even more illegal immigration when you represent Texas, Texas.
(11:47):
Do you not know what year this is, John, It's
twenty twenty five. This isn't nineteen ninety one. Doing business
with Democrats in nineteen ninety one was an entirely different
thing than it is in twenty twenty five. Back then,
Democrats stood very had very different policy positions on all
these issues. Today, Democrats only stand for protecting illegal immigrants.
(12:12):
They only stand for disarming us. They want to empty
the prisons and take our guns away. They want to
free the criminals and disarm you. They want to queer
your kid. They want to allow men to steal a
woman's sports accomplishments, and then they want to watch her
in the shower. The Democrat way leads to madness. People
(12:32):
in Texas may not be perfect, but we understand that.
I don't think John Cornyn gets it. These pulling numbers continue,
John Cornyn will likely be urged to retire. He should
retire rather than risk a bruising primary drop out. John
guy spending a lot of money on political ads, being
(12:54):
a squish when Western civilization is at stake is a
bad look looks really bad.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
He looks out of touch. He looks gullible.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
We're gonna be making fun of John Cornin next Friday
Night at District two forty nine in Tomball, Texas. You

after a guy named Tom Ball. I had no idea either. Anyway,
we're gonna have a.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Lot of fun. I don't know anything about Tomball. He

Speaker 4 (14:10):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
point fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
All right, before we get into this next segment, I
want to play a video here from our energy secretary.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
This is Christopher Wright.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
For those of you just connecting with us on social media,
This is the first time in the history of our
federal government we have ever had an energy secretary who.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Worked in the energy industry. Imagine that if you will.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Liberals generally pick a college professor to be the energy
secretary when Democrats are in charge, and Republicans tend to
pick a governor from an energy friendly state Texas, Rick Perry,
for example, the Dakota is that kind of thing. The
first time we ever got an actual guy from the
energy industry to be our energy secretary, it was right
now and this is his So energy matters.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
It matters for human lives, It matters for human well being,
It matters for low income people and social mobility low
income people to come up. When you hear crazy stuff today,
check it out. Dig a little deeper. Hurricanes are not growing,
that's in the IPCC report. Tornadoes are actually on the decline.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Floods, droughts, all of.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
These things you hear ceaselessly, they just simply aren't so
it isn't even controversial that they're not so, but media
politicians just continually abuse these facts. And I'll end with
one last fact, because anxiety.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Is growing among kids.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I'm sure everyone has seen that twenty percent of kids
go to bed at night worried about climate change. Your
chance of dying from extreme weather today is greater than
ninety five It has been reduced by more than ninety
seven percent over the last century. There's just an absolute
(15:53):
plummeting from five hundred thousand people a year dying from
extreme weather to less than ten thousand the last couple
of years, while the world population is quadrupled.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
So facts mattter Wow.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Human liberty matters.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Bottom up.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Social organization has always been the way to a better world.
Let's resist this force of top down control that's not
benefiting humans except those in government.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
All right, So that is your energy. That's Christopher right.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
The first time we've ever had an energy secretary that
I actually understood the industry that he was presiding over. Hi, everybody,
I'm Kenny Webster. If you're just getting connected on social media,
good to be with you here this afternoon morning. Depending
on where you are in the country, we're live streaming
on social media while we are also on the radio
KPRC nine point fifty in Houston, Texas, the oldest radio
station in Houston, and we duel stream on ninety four
(16:43):
point five to three HDFM. Of course, a lot of
you just listen on the internet, and that's great if
you subscribe to the podcast Funny Story about Me so
I can introduce our next guest. Not long ago, my
neighbor across the hall, Keith, is a good buddy of mine.
He and I went through our divorce at the same time.
Not the point of the story, but he tells me recently, Hey,
I'm going to be leaving for a few months. I'm
(17:03):
running out my condo to this guy. He's a little
younger than you, he's about your as. His name's Jesse.
I was like, what does Jesse do for a living.
He goes, well, he does Ted Talks. I was like,
all right, go on. He said he's an advocate for
sustainable energy. I was like, I hate this guy. And
then he goes on to say, hang on a minute, No,
he's a good guy. He doesn't agree with climate change activist.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
He's actually a he's forced sustainable energy. He's against people
politicizing sustainable energy.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Thought, all right, I want to meet Jesse. Jesse shows
up at some point and this is Jesse. You're an
unusual character to have on the radio show because you're
not selling a book. Although you are an author, you're
not promoting some podcast. Although you are a public speaker,
you're not really selling anything, which usually is when people
come in and do the radio show. They're trying to
(17:52):
sell tickets to their comedy show, or they're trying to
convince me to help them promote their political campaign. You're
just a guy who thinks that climate change activists have
ruined environmentalism.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Would you say that's a fair?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Was that epharic explanation of who you are and what
you believe?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
I think my thesis is more around sustainable chemicals, and
my goal here is to help people become more aware
of the chemicals they're using every day and how those
chemicals might impact their brain chemistry, their gut biome, and
their hormone production.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They're wow, that's not so. You're kind of an RFK
junior guy. I mean, what did you think about that?
You just watched that clip with our Energy secretary Christopher Wright.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Did you disagree with anything you said? It's not in thesis.
I don't disagree with anything he said. In my conversations,
I never use words like climate change, climate crisis, global warming.
We have fifty percent of the population that doesn't necessarily
believe that quote unquote carbon is the problem. And so
what I try to do is ground the conversation in reality.
And the reality is, in order to create energy independence today,
(18:53):
we have to extract resources, and extracting resources creates what
are called externalities. And so when you extract these resources,
you're using a linear model. You extract the resources, you produce,
you consume, you discard, and what I would like to
see happen in our society is a more circular model.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
My problem with the advocates for renewable energy or renewable
chemicals or whatever. More often than not, these are people
from wealthy communities and Nancy Pelosis of the world, the
Greta Thumberg's of the world. They're from first world developed countries.
They have affluence, they go hang out at the United Nations,
and they don't want poor countries like Kenya to have
(19:31):
access to oil and gas. They don't want coal burning
power plants in third world countries, and they get to
live in a country that benefited from these things. The
problem is, there is no other way we can have
cheap energy right now, at this point in time without
so called fossil fuels, which isn't even a scientific word.
It's a term that activists branded on it. We have
(19:51):
a choice right now. We can have cheap, plentiful energy
and if humans continue to exist, or we can rely
entirely off of solar panels and windmills and humans will die.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
And it really is that extreme right now? Right?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I like nuclear energy. I think nuclear energy is the
most logical, it's the most eco friendly. One rock of
uranium gives you as much energy as if we filled
up the entire Wrigley Field with all the coal we had,
fill an entire sports stadium with coal. That's as much
energy as you get from one rock of uranium. The
problem is everybody's terrified of nuclear energy. I don't know
(20:25):
why we could count all the nuclear disasters on one hand.
You'd still have three fingers left for if you grew
up near a nuclear power plant.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
But that's besides the point.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And you know three mile island, right, Fukushimo?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
What's the other one?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
And it's important to note what you're talking about is fission,
not fusion. Fusion is super sustainable, clean, limitless, low cost energy.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I thought fusion was when you took hip hop and
house music and you combine them together.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
It's not that that's something else that's called trendy. Okay, No,
you're right.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
So, but to your point, though, what you're advocating for
isn't necessarily something political, right, it's just the idea that
at some point these things can become more affordable. Thomas
Massey's one of my favorite lawmakers from Kentucky. He's an
advocate for, you know, self sustainability. I love the idea
that I live in a city in a high rise.
(21:14):
I know that makes it seem like I'm not for
those things, but I think it's cool that you can
go out to the middle of the desert, set up
solar panels and dig a well and just survive out
there if you know what the hell you're doing. But
that's not going to keep billions of people alive, is it.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
No, it's not.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
It's what we need to realize as a society is
when we extract resources like petroleum, so oil, coal, natural gas,
we create pollution. And there's a lot of pollutants that
are created through the extraction of these resources. And so
when you look at different pollutants, you know, things like
mercury or arsenic I don't think you'd give your kid
(21:50):
in hailer full of arsenic or mercury.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Maybe your ex wife, but not your kid.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I mean, some liberals, if they didn't have access to
abortion in their country state, would probably do that, but
most wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yeah, most would not.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Right.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
So, if we can agree that expanding production in a
way that increases the amount of arsenic and mercury in
our environment, and that's land, air, water, plants, animals, anything
that's living and breathing, Okay, if we can agree that
the expansion of these pollutants isn't good, that we can
also agree that reducing the amount of those pollutants in
the environment would be a good thing.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Okay, I'm against pollution. I think pollution is bad. What
I don't like is junk science, fake science totally. We
have all these subsidies put in place by the Biden administration,
put in place by the state of California, that we're
supposed to make everybody want to go out and buy
an EV and all it did was make evs more
expensive and ultimately make them less popular.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Ford loses something like twenty thirty thousand dollars for every
Ford and f one lightning that they sell. That's crazy.
Now we learn this this week from the Wall Street Journal.
Well this is from last week. But whatever GM had
an EV plant, they've decided not to have one anymore.
They're now scaling it. They spent they spent something like
three hundred million dollars on an EV plant. Now they've realized,
(23:04):
actually that was a bad idea. Now they're going to
pump another eight hundred eighty eight million dollars in it
to it to convert it into a V eight engine plant.
They are backpedaling on EV. It's kind of funny, right,
but also it just it's a sign of the times.
Jesse EV's were a bad investment. People don't want to
buy them. There was a big softening of demand, and
that's what they're citing. But what's really interesting to me
(23:26):
is the contradiction between GM's new announcement and a lot
of their climacals. A million units a year by twenty
twenty five for EV's carbon neutral cross global operations by
twenty forty, zero emission like duty vehicle sales by twenty
thirty five, one hundred percent EV sales by twenty thirty five.
So if you're building a plant with ice engines, ice
(23:49):
being internal combustion engines, and you're expanding that production by
eight hundred and eighty eight million. The likelihood that you're
going to be at one hundred percent EVS by twenty
thirty five is zero.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
OK.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
So the plan in California is to punish people for
having these vehicles and actually outlaw them or ban them,
or pay a tax penalty, that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I'm guessing that you're not an advocate for that.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
No, And look, I spent five years of Detroit. My
last company was a sustainable chemicals company, and a lot
of Detroit is focused on the energy transition and electric vehicles.
So there's a couple key concerns that I think your
listeners might find interesting In terms of electric vehicles. I'll
kind of broadly speaking, break them into three branches. Concern
Number one, they're not sexy.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Women are not impressed by an EV, women will not
look you will not get laid if you're driving an EV.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Probably that's totally possible, not necessarily where I was going
with it, but yeah, I think there's a lack of
sex appeal in evs. But I would break it, broadly
speaking into three things, the materials, the energy, and the weight.
The materials for a battery, most notably cobalt, come from
places like the Democratic Republic of Congo. In fact, seventy
(24:56):
percent of the cobalt supply chain comes from DRC. And
if I'm not mistaken, that's child labor, child labor, force labor,
slave labor. Yeah, so progress every single EV that you
use has some form of child labor, force labor, or
slave labor.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
There is no way around it. Today.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
That is one of the materials problems that's in EV's
the energy problem. What most people don't realize is when
you go charge your EV at a charging station, most
of that power is still coal or natural gas, so
you're not really doing anything different. You're changing your input
feedstock from oil or petroleum into coal, so you're not
(25:35):
really eliminating emissions, you're just shifting emissions. The third implication
that a lot of people don't think about is the weight.
The average electric vehicle is twenty to forty percent heavier.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Is that Why have you noticed that the cyber trucks
all look like they have plastic hub caps. I've wondered,
why don't they have metal hub caps?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
I don't know. It's a great question. It got to
be the weight. The weight.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
So the weight's a big problem, not only because your
tires wear faster, which is increasing the amount of microplastics
in the environment, if you care about that type of thing,
but also look at our parking structures. Our parking structures
were not graded for electric vehicles. They were graded for
internal combustion engine. So if your cars weigh twenty thirty
forty percent more, the average parking structure that was made
(26:14):
decades ago cannot withstand a full garage full of electric vehicles.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Wow, that's fascinating to me. Or that the highways aren't
equipped for it. My concern is if we switch from
metal hobcaps and rims on cars to the plastic stuff,
how will we get more microplastics in our testicles.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
If you want more microplastics in your testlets just keep
drinking out of plastic bod That's what.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
We're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Okay, Hey, can you hang with us for another segment?
You need to run what's going on with Let's do
another quick one, real quick more with Jesse Henry. Right
after this, what's the book called the Millennial Mergers? Millennial
Mergers stick.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Around happiness.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Like this is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness on KPRC
nine fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
A new report claims that six percent of Americans don't
like their first I'm guessing that number is going to
grow as Elon's kids get older and realize what he's
done to them.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I'm kidding. I like Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
John Notice he's got a black eye right now, and
he blamed that on his little baby. What's his what's
a five year old that he had with Grimes, the
electro pop musician. I think the baby's name is Xerox
or something like that. And I don't believe that story
for a second. I don't think that's real. I don't
think that's how he got a black eye. But that
being said, my guest right now is Jesse Henry in
(27:28):
studio right now, founded a sustainable materials company. He is
a chemical industry consultant to public speaker. He is an
author and Jesse Elon Musk good for the planet, are
bad for the planet, bottom line me good for.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
The planet overall.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
If you look at his models on sustainable abundance and
what he's doing for electrification of vehicles, which I know
we just talked about solar energy, interplanetary travel. I think,
broadly speaking, it's really hard to argue that his model
on sustainable abundance is not beneficial for the future of humanity.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Well, broadly speaking, he seems to sleep with a lot
of broads, so that's he does.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Yeah, he's he's got a sustainable supply chain of women
that want to be impregnated by him.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I am.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I think Elon's a cool guy. I like nobody's perfect.
I think Elon has done more good than bad. Still
not going to drive a Tesla. Yeah, it is weird
to me though, when people on the left tell me
they don't like Elon Musk they did they or even
though they'll tell me like they think he's he's not
as smart as people think. Nobody figured out EV's, how
to make it, how to commercialize it, Nobody figured out
how to commercialize space travel. Him and his buddy Peter
(28:31):
Thiel came up with PayPal. That's brilliant. You know, they
really like commerce on the Internet is basically a thing
that they figured out. But of all the things that
they write off, isn't neuralink the most interesting They're figuring
out how to cure paralysis and blindness.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Name a person that's doing that, No one, and it's
you know, it's it's hard to argue that. The guy's
got I think it's six multi billion dollar companies, and
he does a lot for society. His model, actually, Kenny,
is every he focuses on solving the most difficult problem
in each of his companies. And so after fifty two weeks,
he solved the fifty two most important problems in each
(29:08):
of his six companies. The guy's doing a lot, and
he's tackling a lot, and this is why his companies
are doing so well.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Boring Company is the lesser known one. That's the company
that came up with the flamethrowers. That's like his hobby company, Starlink, SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
What am I leaving out?
Speaker 6 (29:24):
So he bought Solar City, which is oh, that's right,
which is now a part of Tesla, but Tesla has
its own solar division at this point.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Okay, So he is probably if we believe, you know,
in climate change theory, which I don't, but he's probably
the biggest environmentalist or climate change activist on earth, if
you will. And he even he has admitted that we
need to expand drilling. If we don't do it, somebody
else will, and that's somebody's going to be Opaq, Saudi Arabia,
Russia as a petro state. Some have argued that by
(29:56):
getting rid of the sanctions on the Nords Dream Pipeline
gave Russia the monetary power they needed to invade Ukraine.
There's a whole war there that probably wouldn't have been happening.
Some have argued that Hamas might not have invaded Israel
on October seventh, twenty twenty three, if not for the
fact that I Ran started making more money off of
oil and gas because Joe Biden scaled it back. Elon Musk,
(30:19):
an advocate for solar panels, an advocate for environmentalism, clearly
has pointed out even he thinks we need to expand drilling.
And now the Trump administration is convinced that a massive
Alaska energy product project will find investors. They're going to
do exactly that big announcement this week. Let me see
if I can find the exam The Trump administration is
(30:39):
opening up thirteen million Alaska acres to mining and drilling.
Now is that enough? I think there's more we could
do with Alaska. I think kind of like how the
Soviets used Siberia to hold all the Nazi war criminals.
Maybe we could keep illegal immigrants in North Alaska. I
don't know, but that's a different conversation altogether. What do
you think about this? See, because you're a critic of
(31:01):
oil and gas, but you admit, kind of like Elon,
there's a need for it. You're objective, you know, it's
a it's not a political approach, it's a philosophical approach,
kind of like Alex Epstein.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
There's something to be said for that, isn't there? Yeah,
And look, we're we're in the Mecca. We're in Houston.
This is where the energy and the materials transition meet.
But overall, I'm not supporting expanding oil and gas drilling
and extraction of resources. I think we need as a
society to figure out how to create energy independence beyond
the extraction and pollution that we have lived by since
(31:35):
the beginning of the industrial Revolution. So if you look
at the Department of Energies billion Ton report, they showed
that there's a billion tons of agriculture waste that's sitting
on American farms. Today, we have nine hundred million acres
of American farms. And when you eat a near corn,
you got to realize that corn grew on a stock.
That stock is six feet tall and it grew two
years of corn. So the percentage of biomass that we
(31:57):
actually use in the corn supply chain is very light.
Twenty percent. The other eighty percent it gets burned. That
is all input. That is all feedstock that can be
used to create chemicals, and it can be used to
create materials that we can use in everyday products.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Okay, so this is a little different than ethanol and
stuff like that, right.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
Ethanol is probably the most common chemical that we use
on a day to day basis that is produced from
bio based feedstocks that the average consumer is familiar with.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
People have pointed out though, that by doing the ethanol subsidies,
it actually made things worse.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Subsidize everything. The idea of a free market is kind
of bs in today's world. We subsidize the oil industry,
we subsidize the agriculture industry. There is really no large
industry today that doesn't operate without any type of subsidy.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Okay, So with all that being said, you know, I
get your point here on sustainum. I don't disagree with
the points that you're making. I think the idea of
having more energy is great. I just don't think that
it should be at the expense of something else. Obviously,
I don't think. I don't dislike solar panels. I just
hate junk science. I hate when people may this argument
that that is ready to replace oil and gas. It's
(33:03):
not the cost or astronomical. Like you explained, child slave labor,
windmills are kind of the same thing. These things have
a twenty thirty year lifespan and then they're not recyclable.
As an advocate for sustainable energy or sustainable or anything,
that's got to drive you nuts because it does the
opposite of what they're selling it to do.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
And because I'm in the sector, there actually are a
lot of companies that are trying to figure out how
to recycle wind, turbine blades, solar panels. There's so many
recycling supply chains that have popped up as a byproduct
of Hey, we produce a lot of textiles, let's figure
out how to recycle them.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Okay, Greta Thunberg, are you familiar with child activist.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
I am familiar with Greta.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yes, Greta Thunberg is an autistic teenager. I guess she's
a young adult now who dropped out of high school
to become a science expert without knowing anything about science.
I have no problem with people that are on the spectrum, Jesse.
I'm probably on the spectrum a little bit. But Greta
Thumberg is this person who latched onto a little bit
of information, clearly been brainwashed. We've learned that her family
(34:03):
is part of the UN, that they're members of the
Climate Change Committee at the UN. And now we've learned,
weirdly enough, Greta Thunberg is on this boat and she's
traveling right now to Gaza. And I don't know if
you've watched this yet. I find this fascinating. I thought
this video had audio with it. I guess it doesn't, okay,
(34:23):
Greta Thumberg.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Today, about months after our latest attempt to go on
with this mission, the boat was bombed twice with all
evidence just Israel. And we are doing this because we
have to keep our promise through the Palestinians to do
(34:45):
everything in our power to protest against the genocide and
to try to open up a humanitarian corridor and.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
Break the siege.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
All right, So she's on this boat and they claim
it's a climate friendly boat.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
You're probably wondering what this even has to do with.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
She's a famous climate change activist who has now been
brainwashed into being led off on a ship to Gaza
where she's going to bring aid to Like what, there's
two million people there.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
She's on a boat with thirty people.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Doesn't this kind of speak to how these young people
have been misled with dangerous information that's maybe doing more
harm than good. I mean, when she gets to Gaza,
what she's going to get beheaded by Hamas?
Speaker 5 (35:25):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I mean what chance does this woman?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
And earlier we looked at those statistics twenty percent of
young people go to sleep at night and lose sleep
over fear of climate change. I mean, there's a lot
of misinformation from people in the sustainable energy world, not
just related to sustainable energy, but look at what it's
doing to this poor young woman.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
And that fear is called climate alarmism, and it's actually
showing increases in rates of depression in gen Z right now.
I mean, I think even if Greta is well intentioned
the language climate change, climate crisis, global warming. These are
terms that immediately turn off fifty percent of the population.
And so if we're going to really transition into the
(36:06):
evolution of humanity and capitalism, we really have to zoom
out and say, what is a solution that works for
eighty percent of the people one hundred percent of the people,
and using terms like climate change isn't the path Kenny like,
climate change is the world is changing. If there's one
thing that's consistent on planet Earth, it is change. The
(36:26):
way the Democrats have framed climate change does not appeal
to fifty percent of the voters. So if everyone that
was talking about climate change and climate crisis and global
warming switched to talking about pollution, now we can get
eighty plus percent of the electorate on board with why
pollution is bad and how to solve for pollution.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
See again, anti pollution, I'm an advocate for it. Like
telling people this is causing hurricanes, I think that's grossly misleading.
I think it's dangerously misinformed, and misinformation is only going
to push people away.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
From this stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Next week, Jesse, the un is hosting a climate emergency meeting.
Imagine if you will ten thousand climate activists will jet
off to the French rivi Era in planes, many of
them flying private. If my friend Daniel Turner, an advocate
for the energy industry, I asked the question, if the
climate crisis is real, why aren't they having these meetings
(37:19):
on zoom? Why are they going to the French riviera
as if we don't know the answer.
Speaker 6 (37:23):
It's a great question. And this happens with the World
Economic Forum. This happens with all these big conferences where
the billionaires take their private jets in and then they
sit there and point fingers and say, how we're not
doing enough as citizens, but we need to shift or model.
It gets back to a linear model versus a circular model.
And there's companies out there in aviation, for example, if
we want to go down that rabbit hole that are
(37:43):
powering planes with hydrogen, that is an amazing, amazing opportunity.
I don't think electric is the way to go, but
there's a huge market also for sustainable aviation fuel. So
there are people in each of these sectors that are
trying to make moves.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Would you fly in a hydrogen powered plane? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (37:59):
My uncle is helicopters for a living. And he won't
get in one. Really, you're a very trustworthy person to
make that point.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
I don't know. I don't know if I would myself,
but it's an interesting question to ask Jesse Again.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I think you and I advocate for different things, but
I agree with the points you're making. I don't think
you're wrong about any of this stuff. I want less pollution.
I think most conservatives, right wingers, libertarians, I think we
want less pollution. We don't want to believe that we're
putting toxic sludge into things totally. The Maha movement proves
there's plenty of right wing Republicans that agree with the
(38:32):
points that you're making. Most people don't draw that line
between the food that we eat and the chemicals being
created from the energy industry. That's your entire world, right, Yeah,
you're a Maha guy. I am a Maha guy.
Speaker 6 (38:46):
Regardless of my support or lack thereof, for any political party,
I do support removing toxicity from pharma, food, agriculture, chemical sector.
These are overall good things. If you don't support removing
toxicity from these sectors, why.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
I know, I agree. I don't even like that system
of a downsong. I think it's sucks. So I did
your point, Jesse. If people want to learn more about
what you're doing, what can they do?
Speaker 6 (39:11):
They could go to Jesse Henry dot co to see
more about me and my personal site. If you're looking
to understand more about the chemicals that you use every day,
you can download an app called Yuko Yuka. You can
go to Yuca dot io, and you can scan the
barcodes on any supermarket to find out more about the
toxicity of the ingredients that you're using every day. If
you're looking at your hand soap, your deodorant, your toothpaste,
(39:34):
your mouthwash, and you're wondering are these things good for me?
I encourage you to go to a website ewg dot org,
forward slash skin deep and type in that chemical into
the EWG dot org search engine and figure out what
are the ingredients in this product? What are these ingredients
doing to my body? And are there more sustainable alternatives
(39:54):
that could support my long term health?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Jesse, you're a very different guy than the person I
hung out with last weekend at a row show when
we were watching a bunch of goth girls drink tequila
and throw up.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
All over themselves. A little different, right on, my man?
And are you on social media? You must be.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
I'm on social media, I'm on LinkedIn, I'm on Twitter,
I'm on Instagram sometimes. So just type in Jesse, Henry,
j E, sc H E n R Y and find
me there.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
My brother. Hey to the rest of you, thank you
so much for watching. Don't forget.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
I will be a tom Ball at what is it?
District two forty nine a week from this Friday. Find
great Walton and Johnson pursued a Happiness Radio merchant. I
love WJ dot com. You can always subscribe to our podcast.
You can follow me on social media by searching for
Kenny Webster. Have an awesome afternoon. We'll be back bright
and early tomorrow morning for more of what you bought
a radio for.
Speaker 8 (40:44):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio. Tell
the government to kiss yours when you listen to this show.
Speaker 6 (41:00):
H
The Giganic government sucks. The suit of Happiness radio is DeLux.
Liberty and freedom will make you smile of a suit
of happiness on your radio. Toile justice cheeseburg is a
liberty rise at the food.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
According to a new report, most Americans say they are
below average it's singing. I guess they must always forget
that when they're at karaoke night. Hi, I'm Kenny Webster.
You turn on your radio. It's good to be with
you this afternoon, and there's a lot happening here. I
think you could break up this show into two halves.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Today.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
The first half of the show will be all about retribution.
We're going to talk about people in federal government in
the media who have done bad things over the past
few years and are now being punished for it. In
the second half of the show, we're going to talk
about renewables. Renewables, Yeah, renewable energy. I have a friend
and he works in the energy industry, works in the
(01:01):
petrochemical industry as a consultant, and he is an advocate
for renewables. Now, before you turn the radio and to
a different channel, I think to yourself, I don't want
to hear a bunch of climate change nonsense.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Neither does he.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
He actually makes the point that a lot of climate
change theorists are ruining the industry and actually making pollution
worse because they're spewing out so much junk science that
it's causing people to believe that the idea of renewable
energy is a bad idea, if such a thing is
even possible. And I'm going to challenge him a lot,
but stick around because we're gonna have a debate. I
(01:35):
actually agree with this guy in a lot of points
he's making. I just don't think solar panels are the future,
and frankly, I'm not sure that's what he thinks either.
But stick around. We'll talk about it before we get
to any of that. At report at Breitbart dot Com
today breaks down how alex Mark Kart alex Markkhart is
his name. He's CNN's chief national security correspondent. He just
walked out the door at the fake news network. He's
(01:56):
been forced out actually after a settlement from a defamation
case which they lost in court. The whole news story
actually stems back to twenty twenty one. CNN at the
time was very desperate to provide Joe Biden some cover
during his catastrophic surrender to the Taliban in Afghanistan. There's
really no other way of explaining it. So they needed
(02:18):
to create a villain, and a villain that wasn't named
Joe Biden. So Jake Tapper ran a story that defamed
a Navy veteran named Zachary Young. Zachary Young is a
They made it sound like he was a heartless criminal
operating a black market that exploited people in Afghanistan to
escape from the Taliban.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Here's a problem, it wasn't really true.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Tapper explained the story to his very gullible audience, said
things like quote, Afghans trying to get out of the
country face a black market full of promises and demands
on exorbitant fees and no guarantee of safety. But none
of that was true. It certainly wasn't true about this
guy named Young. We know that because internal Tech showed
CNN was out to annihilate this young man.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
So that's exactly what they did.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Alex flat out said he wanted to nail this Zachary
Young mf or and promised that his story would be
Young's funeral. That's an exact quote. Alex's editor Matthew Phillips
was awfully excited and texted him back quote, gonna hold
you to that cowboy. The CNN senior editor Fuzz Hogan
then chimed in by calling Young a s word. That
(03:27):
was their clever banter back and forth. Now, anyone who
understands Jake Tapper or CNN and how it works over
in the regime media probably understands the goal here. They
needed to create a new villain, someone for that week's
two minutes of hate and a way to take some
of the heat off Joe Biden. So Zachary Young took
CNN to court an he won. The jury found that
CNN had smeared Zachary Young. They awarded him five million
(03:50):
dollars in damages. The jury then went back to decide
punitive damages, and that's when CNN settled the case for
an undisclosed sum of money, probably millions of dollars. It's
all happened back in January, and since then, Jake Tapper
has seen his ratings hit record low, his reputation sunk
even lower because of that book he wrote about Joe
Biden's mental decline and the best news is that the
(04:12):
toxic Alex Markhart is no longer employed at CNN. He
should have been fired the moment it became obvious the
story was fake, which was back in twenty twenty two
when CNN apologized to Daniel Young on the air. But
CNN hires people to produce fake news, so that would
never happen. The delay was apparently based on some sort
of internal review. Alex Markuhart explained his exit on social media.
(04:37):
He said, quote some personal news. I'm leaving CNN after
eight terrific years. Tough to say goodbye, but it's been
an honor to work among the very best in the business.
Profound thank you to my comrades, comrades on the National
security team. Guys, the media continues to light to all
(05:00):
the time, constantly, and this is just one more person
that's been chased away from the regime media for getting
blatantly caught not just pushing fake news, but being punished
for their fake news. There are so many of these
examples lately, so many different people that seemed like they
were too big to fail who either got kicked out
or demoted. Ruth Marcus at the Washington Post, she was
(05:22):
a columnist not there anymore. Five point thirty eight was
the Disney ABC News polling site. They don't even use
it anymore. They shut it down. Paul Krugman always wrong
at The New York Times, that columnist has been forced
to quit. Jim Acosta, the CNN anchor, forced to quit.
Nora O'Donnell, a failed CBS news anchor, forced out.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Chuck Todd.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
That was NBC's former Meet the Press host he had
to lead because of DEI. They replaced him with a
black woman, Andrea Mitchell. NBC designed she was a little
too old. It was time to go. Oh Chris Wallace,
the famous son of somebody who knows he's kicked out
a CNN. Joy Reid, the racist MSNBC news anchor two
racist for even MSNBC just amazing. And then there was
(06:06):
Neil Cavudo, the Fox News anchor and notable anti Trumper,
scurried away. Alex Wagner demoted at MSNBC, Olivia Newzy out
of New York Magazine for allegedly stalking RFK Junior. Remember
that story she sent him nude photos? How quickly we forget.
The list goes on and on and on. Lester Halt, Ryan,
(06:26):
Lisa bill Owens, Wendy McMahon, so many different people kicked
out of news outlets like NBC, The Washington Post, sixty minutes, CNN.
We were right, they were wrong. I don't celebrate people
losing their jobs, but look, when you lie to millions
of people for a living, there has to be some punishment.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of happiness on KPRC nine
point fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Dozens of people in eighteen states have become sick from
food poisoning tied to cucumbers. In other words, a quke
can make you puke. Don't eat them, Ladies and gentlemen, Hi,
welcome back. I'm Kenny Webster. In a little bit, I'm
going to be joined by an advocate for the Maha movement,
and he's also an advocate for renewable energies.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
His name is Jesse Henry. He is an author, he
does TED talks.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And he and I probably don't agree on everything, but
I bet we agree on a lot. We're going to
find some common ground, probably debate a little bit. It's
interesting too when you meet these people, because I just
read this report. Genetic analysis reveals the bacteria responsible for
leprosy existed in America long before European settlers arrived here,
and I think thanks to RFK Junior, it's making a comeback.
(07:42):
I'm kidding, but it is interesting how we get blamed
as white European people with European lineage. We get blamed
for all of the problems here in the western half
of the world, as if life was better in North
America when it was just cannibalism that sort of thing.
But I digress us Senator John Cornyn, maybe life was
(08:05):
better before he was here.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
That was a weird segue, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I wanted to talk about John Corny and John Cornyn
is running for office right now against Ken Paxton. One
of them is the senior senator of the state of Texas,
the other is the attorney attorney general. According to some
new polling data published at Breitbart dot Com today, Cornyn
is facing worsening poll numbers. He should probably decide to
just drop out at this point. According to the poll
(08:31):
released Tuesday, Cornyn would lose a twenty sixteen twenty twenty
six Republican primary race to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton
by twenty points. Paxton is already at fifty percent support,
Cornyn twenty eight percent support. So there's a polling group
called the UP one Insight Poll. They surveyed six hundred
Republican primary voters state wide in Texas from May twenty
(08:54):
seventh to the twenty eighth. The margin of area is
plus or minus four points. Okay, So when you're twenty
points ahead with a margin of era of four points,
I think we know what's going to happen here. What's
even worse news for John Cornyn is that only twenty
seven percent of those polled want him to serve another term.
(09:14):
Fifty four percent, more than half want him out. John
Cornyn is seventy three years old. He's been in the
US Senate since two thousand and two. This is the
second recent poll to show John Cornyn in serious re
election trouble. Last month, there was a Senate Leadership Fund poll.
It showed he was down sixteen points to Paxton. Not
(09:37):
even a three way contest that includes Representative Wesley Hunt
can bail John Cornyan out. Ken Paxton still wins the
primary with forty four percent support to Cornyn's thirty four percent.
Hunt receives nineteen percent of the vote. I actually, honestly,
I like Ken Paxton or Wesley Hunt. Obviously I wonder
(09:58):
if Wesley be a better senator, but I digress. He's
not running, so frankly, I hope Ken Paxton wins, and
he probably will. Cornyan's popularity here in Texas took a
major hit during the Joe Biden administration. It probably should
have happened years beforehand, but Senator John Corny had played
a critical role in twenty twenty two working to help
(10:19):
Joe Biden pass gun control legislation. He funded state red
flag laws that hindered many gun purchases. In twenty twenty three,
he served as a key force behind the scenes negotiating
the Senate's pro migration bill. He ultimately voted against the
legislation after McConnell gave Republicans his blessing to oppose it,
but it was pretty obvious he was going to support it,
(10:41):
and most people in Texas probably know that, especially the
kind of people that vote in a primary. Now, unless
there's some bizarre twist, whoever wins the Republican primary in
Texas will almost certainly win the general election. Democrats and
their corporate media allies have spent two decades attempting to
gaslight people into believing Texas is on the cusp of
(11:02):
turning blue. If anything, the state became rhetor in recent years.
So what in the world John Cornyn was thinking when
he backed a Democrat gun control bill, an absurdly unnecessary
immigration bill. It's beyond me. I don't know what he
was thinking. It's one thing to be a centrist. It's
another thing to look like a sucker and a squish
in a liberal shill backing gun control. When you represent
(11:26):
the biggest conservative state in America, Texas, Texas. You supported
gun control and you're from Texas. Even liberal Democrats own
guns in Texas. You backed an immigration bill that would
have allowed even more illegal immigration when you represent Texas, Texas.
(11:47):
Do you not know what year this is, John, It's
twenty twenty five. This isn't nineteen ninety one. Doing business
with Democrats in nineteen ninety one was an entirely different
thing than it is in twenty twenty five. Back then,
Democrats stood very had very different policy positions on all
these issues. Today, Democrats only stand for protecting illegal immigrants.
(12:12):
They only stand for disarming us. They want to empty
the prisons and take our guns away. They want to
free the criminals and disarm you. They want to queer
your kid. They want to allow men to steal a
woman's sports accomplishments, and then they want to watch her
in the shower. The Democrat way leads to madness. People
(12:32):
in Texas may not be perfect, but we understand that.
I don't think John Cornyn gets it. These pulling numbers continue,
John Cornyn will likely be urged to retire. He should
retire rather than risk a bruising primary drop out. John
guy spending a lot of money on political ads, being
(12:54):
a squish when Western civilization is at stake is a
bad look looks really bad.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
He looks out of touch. He looks gullible.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
We're gonna be making fun of John Cornin next Friday
Night at District two forty nine in Tomball, Texas. You
could come hang out with us. It's the right side
of comedy, the Gulf of America Tour. I will be
your special guest and host on the night. The headliner
is Chad Prather and the featured comic is Jesse Payton.
It is uncensored, it is unwoke, It is Unapologetic. You
(13:27):
can get your tickets by clicking the link at the
top of my ex account. You can also get the
tickets by going to jessesfunny dot com or watch Chad
dot com.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
If you've never been to District two forty nine, it's
in Tomball, Texas. Did you know tom Ball was named
after a guy named Tom Ball. I had no idea either. Anyway,
we're gonna have a.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Lot of fun. I don't know anything about Tomball. He
might have been a nice guy.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I have no idea, but I do know tickets are
available for this show and it's gonna be a lot
of fun. So come hang out with us right now.
Get your tickets online. Uh, purchase him today. This comedy
show will probably sell out, so Gravier's while you still
can jesse isfunny dot com or watch Chat's a Happiness Thing.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
This is Kenny Webster's Pursuit of Happiness on KPRC nine
point fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
All right, before we get into this next segment, I
want to play a video here from our energy secretary.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
This is Christopher Wright.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
For those of you just connecting with us on social media,
This is the first time in the history of our
federal government we have ever had an energy secretary who.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Worked in the energy industry. Imagine that if you will.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Liberals generally pick a college professor to be the energy
secretary when Democrats are in charge, and Republicans tend to
pick a governor from an energy friendly state Texas, Rick Perry,
for example, the Dakota is that kind of thing. The
first time we ever got an actual guy from the
energy industry to be our energy secretary, it was right
now and this is his So energy matters.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
It matters for human lives, It matters for human well being,
It matters for low income people and social mobility low
income people to come up. When you hear crazy stuff today,
check it out. Dig a little deeper. Hurricanes are not growing,
that's in the IPCC report. Tornadoes are actually on the decline.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Floods, droughts, all of.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
These things you hear ceaselessly, they just simply aren't so
it isn't even controversial that they're not so, but media
politicians just continually abuse these facts. And I'll end with
one last fact, because anxiety.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Is growing among kids.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I'm sure everyone has seen that twenty percent of kids
go to bed at night worried about climate change. Your
chance of dying from extreme weather today is greater than
ninety five It has been reduced by more than ninety
seven percent over the last century. There's just an absolute
(15:53):
plummeting from five hundred thousand people a year dying from
extreme weather to less than ten thousand the last couple
of years, while the world population is quadrupled.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
So facts mattter Wow.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Human liberty matters.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Bottom up.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Social organization has always been the way to a better world.
Let's resist this force of top down control that's not
benefiting humans except those in government.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
All right, So that is your energy. That's Christopher right.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
The first time we've ever had an energy secretary that
I actually understood the industry that he was presiding over. Hi, everybody,
I'm Kenny Webster. If you're just getting connected on social media,
good to be with you here this afternoon morning. Depending
on where you are in the country, we're live streaming
on social media while we are also on the radio
KPRC nine point fifty in Houston, Texas, the oldest radio
station in Houston, and we duel stream on ninety four
(16:43):
point five to three HDFM. Of course, a lot of
you just listen on the internet, and that's great if
you subscribe to the podcast Funny Story about Me so
I can introduce our next guest. Not long ago, my
neighbor across the hall, Keith, is a good buddy of mine.
He and I went through our divorce at the same time.
Not the point of the story, but he tells me recently, Hey,
I'm going to be leaving for a few months. I'm
(17:03):
running out my condo to this guy. He's a little
younger than you, he's about your as. His name's Jesse.
I was like, what does Jesse do for a living.
He goes, well, he does Ted Talks. I was like,
all right, go on. He said he's an advocate for
sustainable energy. I was like, I hate this guy. And
then he goes on to say, hang on a minute, No,
he's a good guy. He doesn't agree with climate change activist.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
He's actually a he's forced sustainable energy. He's against people
politicizing sustainable energy.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Thought, all right, I want to meet Jesse. Jesse shows
up at some point and this is Jesse. You're an
unusual character to have on the radio show because you're
not selling a book. Although you are an author, you're
not promoting some podcast. Although you are a public speaker,
you're not really selling anything, which usually is when people
come in and do the radio show. They're trying to
(17:52):
sell tickets to their comedy show, or they're trying to
convince me to help them promote their political campaign. You're
just a guy who thinks that climate change activists have
ruined environmentalism.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Would you say that's a fair?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Was that epharic explanation of who you are and what
you believe?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
I think my thesis is more around sustainable chemicals, and
my goal here is to help people become more aware
of the chemicals they're using every day and how those
chemicals might impact their brain chemistry, their gut biome, and
their hormone production.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They're wow, that's not so. You're kind of an RFK
junior guy. I mean, what did you think about that?
You just watched that clip with our Energy secretary Christopher Wright.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Did you disagree with anything you said? It's not in thesis.
I don't disagree with anything he said. In my conversations,
I never use words like climate change, climate crisis, global warming.
We have fifty percent of the population that doesn't necessarily
believe that quote unquote carbon is the problem. And so
what I try to do is ground the conversation in reality.
And the reality is, in order to create energy independence today,
(18:53):
we have to extract resources, and extracting resources creates what
are called externalities. And so when you extract these resources,
you're using a linear model. You extract the resources, you produce,
you consume, you discard, and what I would like to
see happen in our society is a more circular model.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
My problem with the advocates for renewable energy or renewable
chemicals or whatever. More often than not, these are people
from wealthy communities and Nancy Pelosis of the world, the
Greta Thumberg's of the world. They're from first world developed countries.
They have affluence, they go hang out at the United Nations,
and they don't want poor countries like Kenya to have
(19:31):
access to oil and gas. They don't want coal burning
power plants in third world countries, and they get to
live in a country that benefited from these things. The
problem is, there is no other way we can have
cheap energy right now, at this point in time without
so called fossil fuels, which isn't even a scientific word.
It's a term that activists branded on it. We have
(19:51):
a choice right now. We can have cheap, plentiful energy
and if humans continue to exist, or we can rely
entirely off of solar panels and windmills and humans will die.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
And it really is that extreme right now? Right?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I like nuclear energy. I think nuclear energy is the
most logical, it's the most eco friendly. One rock of
uranium gives you as much energy as if we filled
up the entire Wrigley Field with all the coal we had,
fill an entire sports stadium with coal. That's as much
energy as you get from one rock of uranium. The
problem is everybody's terrified of nuclear energy. I don't know
(20:25):
why we could count all the nuclear disasters on one hand.
You'd still have three fingers left for if you grew
up near a nuclear power plant.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
But that's besides the point.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And you know three mile island, right, Fukushimo?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
What's the other one?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
And it's important to note what you're talking about is fission,
not fusion. Fusion is super sustainable, clean, limitless, low cost energy.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I thought fusion was when you took hip hop and
house music and you combine them together.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
It's not that that's something else that's called trendy. Okay, No,
you're right.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
So, but to your point, though, what you're advocating for
isn't necessarily something political, right, it's just the idea that
at some point these things can become more affordable. Thomas
Massey's one of my favorite lawmakers from Kentucky. He's an
advocate for, you know, self sustainability. I love the idea
that I live in a city in a high rise.
(21:14):
I know that makes it seem like I'm not for
those things, but I think it's cool that you can
go out to the middle of the desert, set up
solar panels and dig a well and just survive out
there if you know what the hell you're doing. But
that's not going to keep billions of people alive, is it.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
No, it's not.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
It's what we need to realize as a society is
when we extract resources like petroleum, so oil, coal, natural gas,
we create pollution. And there's a lot of pollutants that
are created through the extraction of these resources. And so
when you look at different pollutants, you know, things like
mercury or arsenic I don't think you'd give your kid
(21:50):
in hailer full of arsenic or mercury.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Maybe your ex wife, but not your kid.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I mean, some liberals, if they didn't have access to
abortion in their country state, would probably do that, but
most wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yeah, most would not.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Right.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
So, if we can agree that expanding production in a
way that increases the amount of arsenic and mercury in
our environment, and that's land, air, water, plants, animals, anything
that's living and breathing, Okay, if we can agree that
the expansion of these pollutants isn't good, that we can
also agree that reducing the amount of those pollutants in
the environment would be a good thing.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Okay, I'm against pollution. I think pollution is bad. What
I don't like is junk science, fake science totally. We
have all these subsidies put in place by the Biden administration,
put in place by the state of California, that we're
supposed to make everybody want to go out and buy
an EV and all it did was make evs more
expensive and ultimately make them less popular.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Ford loses something like twenty thirty thousand dollars for every
Ford and f one lightning that they sell. That's crazy.
Now we learn this this week from the Wall Street Journal.
Well this is from last week. But whatever GM had
an EV plant, they've decided not to have one anymore.
They're now scaling it. They spent they spent something like
three hundred million dollars on an EV plant. Now they've realized,
(23:04):
actually that was a bad idea. Now they're going to
pump another eight hundred eighty eight million dollars in it
to it to convert it into a V eight engine plant.
They are backpedaling on EV. It's kind of funny, right,
but also it just it's a sign of the times.
Jesse EV's were a bad investment. People don't want to
buy them. There was a big softening of demand, and
that's what they're citing. But what's really interesting to me
(23:26):
is the contradiction between GM's new announcement and a lot
of their climacals. A million units a year by twenty
twenty five for EV's carbon neutral cross global operations by
twenty forty, zero emission like duty vehicle sales by twenty
thirty five, one hundred percent EV sales by twenty thirty five.
So if you're building a plant with ice engines, ice
(23:49):
being internal combustion engines, and you're expanding that production by
eight hundred and eighty eight million. The likelihood that you're
going to be at one hundred percent EVS by twenty
thirty five is zero.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
OK.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
So the plan in California is to punish people for
having these vehicles and actually outlaw them or ban them,
or pay a tax penalty, that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I'm guessing that you're not an advocate for that.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
No, And look, I spent five years of Detroit. My
last company was a sustainable chemicals company, and a lot
of Detroit is focused on the energy transition and electric vehicles.
So there's a couple key concerns that I think your
listeners might find interesting In terms of electric vehicles. I'll
kind of broadly speaking, break them into three branches. Concern
Number one, they're not sexy.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Women are not impressed by an EV, women will not
look you will not get laid if you're driving an EV.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Probably that's totally possible, not necessarily where I was going
with it, but yeah, I think there's a lack of
sex appeal in evs. But I would break it, broadly
speaking into three things, the materials, the energy, and the weight.
The materials for a battery, most notably cobalt, come from
places like the Democratic Republic of Congo. In fact, seventy
(24:56):
percent of the cobalt supply chain comes from DRC. And
if I'm not mistaken, that's child labor, child labor, force labor,
slave labor. Yeah, so progress every single EV that you
use has some form of child labor, force labor, or
slave labor.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
There is no way around it. Today.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
That is one of the materials problems that's in EV's
the energy problem. What most people don't realize is when
you go charge your EV at a charging station, most
of that power is still coal or natural gas, so
you're not really doing anything different. You're changing your input
feedstock from oil or petroleum into coal, so you're not
(25:35):
really eliminating emissions, you're just shifting emissions. The third implication
that a lot of people don't think about is the weight.
The average electric vehicle is twenty to forty percent heavier.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Is that Why have you noticed that the cyber trucks
all look like they have plastic hub caps. I've wondered,
why don't they have metal hub caps?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
I don't know. It's a great question. It got to
be the weight. The weight.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
So the weight's a big problem, not only because your
tires wear faster, which is increasing the amount of microplastics
in the environment, if you care about that type of thing,
but also look at our parking structures. Our parking structures
were not graded for electric vehicles. They were graded for
internal combustion engine. So if your cars weigh twenty thirty
forty percent more, the average parking structure that was made
(26:14):
decades ago cannot withstand a full garage full of electric vehicles.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Wow, that's fascinating to me. Or that the highways aren't
equipped for it. My concern is if we switch from
metal hobcaps and rims on cars to the plastic stuff,
how will we get more microplastics in our testicles.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
If you want more microplastics in your testlets just keep
drinking out of plastic bod That's what.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
We're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Okay, Hey, can you hang with us for another segment?
You need to run what's going on with Let's do
another quick one, real quick more with Jesse Henry. Right
after this, what's the book called the Millennial Mergers? Millennial
Mergers stick.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Around happiness.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Like this is Kenny Webster's pursuit of happiness on KPRC
nine fifty Houston.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
A new report claims that six percent of Americans don't
like their first I'm guessing that number is going to
grow as Elon's kids get older and realize what he's
done to them.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I'm kidding. I like Elon Musk.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
John Notice he's got a black eye right now, and
he blamed that on his little baby. What's his what's
a five year old that he had with Grimes, the
electro pop musician. I think the baby's name is Xerox
or something like that. And I don't believe that story
for a second. I don't think that's real. I don't
think that's how he got a black eye. But that
being said, my guest right now is Jesse Henry in
(27:28):
studio right now, founded a sustainable materials company. He is
a chemical industry consultant to public speaker. He is an
author and Jesse Elon Musk good for the planet, are
bad for the planet, bottom line me good for.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
The planet overall.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
If you look at his models on sustainable abundance and
what he's doing for electrification of vehicles, which I know
we just talked about solar energy, interplanetary travel. I think,
broadly speaking, it's really hard to argue that his model
on sustainable abundance is not beneficial for the future of humanity.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Well, broadly speaking, he seems to sleep with a lot
of broads, so that's he does.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Yeah, he's he's got a sustainable supply chain of women
that want to be impregnated by him.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I am.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I think Elon's a cool guy. I like nobody's perfect.
I think Elon has done more good than bad. Still
not going to drive a Tesla. Yeah, it is weird
to me though, when people on the left tell me
they don't like Elon Musk they did they or even
though they'll tell me like they think he's he's not
as smart as people think. Nobody figured out EV's, how
to make it, how to commercialize it, Nobody figured out
how to commercialize space travel. Him and his buddy Peter
(28:31):
Thiel came up with PayPal. That's brilliant. You know, they
really like commerce on the Internet is basically a thing
that they figured out. But of all the things that
they write off, isn't neuralink the most interesting They're figuring
out how to cure paralysis and blindness.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Name a person that's doing that, No one, and it's
you know, it's it's hard to argue that. The guy's
got I think it's six multi billion dollar companies, and
he does a lot for society. His model, actually, Kenny,
is every he focuses on solving the most difficult problem
in each of his companies. And so after fifty two weeks,
he solved the fifty two most important problems in each
(29:08):
of his six companies. The guy's doing a lot, and
he's tackling a lot, and this is why his companies
are doing so well.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Boring Company is the lesser known one. That's the company
that came up with the flamethrowers. That's like his hobby company, Starlink, SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
What am I leaving out?
Speaker 6 (29:24):
So he bought Solar City, which is oh, that's right,
which is now a part of Tesla, but Tesla has
its own solar division at this point.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Okay, So he is probably if we believe, you know,
in climate change theory, which I don't, but he's probably
the biggest environmentalist or climate change activist on earth, if
you will. And he even he has admitted that we
need to expand drilling. If we don't do it, somebody
else will, and that's somebody's going to be Opaq, Saudi Arabia,
Russia as a petro state. Some have argued that by
(29:56):
getting rid of the sanctions on the Nords Dream Pipeline
gave Russia the monetary power they needed to invade Ukraine.
There's a whole war there that probably wouldn't have been happening.
Some have argued that Hamas might not have invaded Israel
on October seventh, twenty twenty three, if not for the
fact that I Ran started making more money off of
oil and gas because Joe Biden scaled it back. Elon Musk,
(30:19):
an advocate for solar panels, an advocate for environmentalism, clearly
has pointed out even he thinks we need to expand drilling.
And now the Trump administration is convinced that a massive
Alaska energy product project will find investors. They're going to
do exactly that big announcement this week. Let me see
if I can find the exam The Trump administration is
(30:39):
opening up thirteen million Alaska acres to mining and drilling.
Now is that enough? I think there's more we could
do with Alaska. I think kind of like how the
Soviets used Siberia to hold all the Nazi war criminals.
Maybe we could keep illegal immigrants in North Alaska. I
don't know, but that's a different conversation altogether. What do
you think about this? See, because you're a critic of
(31:01):
oil and gas, but you admit, kind of like Elon,
there's a need for it. You're objective, you know, it's
a it's not a political approach, it's a philosophical approach,
kind of like Alex Epstein.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
There's something to be said for that, isn't there? Yeah,
And look, we're we're in the Mecca. We're in Houston.
This is where the energy and the materials transition meet.
But overall, I'm not supporting expanding oil and gas drilling
and extraction of resources. I think we need as a
society to figure out how to create energy independence beyond
the extraction and pollution that we have lived by since
(31:35):
the beginning of the industrial Revolution. So if you look
at the Department of Energies billion Ton report, they showed
that there's a billion tons of agriculture waste that's sitting
on American farms. Today, we have nine hundred million acres
of American farms. And when you eat a near corn,
you got to realize that corn grew on a stock.
That stock is six feet tall and it grew two
years of corn. So the percentage of biomass that we
(31:57):
actually use in the corn supply chain is very light.
Twenty percent. The other eighty percent it gets burned. That
is all input. That is all feedstock that can be
used to create chemicals, and it can be used to
create materials that we can use in everyday products.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Okay, so this is a little different than ethanol and
stuff like that, right.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
Ethanol is probably the most common chemical that we use
on a day to day basis that is produced from
bio based feedstocks that the average consumer is familiar with.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
People have pointed out though, that by doing the ethanol subsidies,
it actually made things worse.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Subsidize everything. The idea of a free market is kind
of bs in today's world. We subsidize the oil industry,
we subsidize the agriculture industry. There is really no large
industry today that doesn't operate without any type of subsidy.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Okay, So with all that being said, you know, I
get your point here on sustainum. I don't disagree with
the points that you're making. I think the idea of
having more energy is great. I just don't think that
it should be at the expense of something else. Obviously,
I don't think. I don't dislike solar panels. I just
hate junk science. I hate when people may this argument
that that is ready to replace oil and gas. It's
(33:03):
not the cost or astronomical. Like you explained, child slave labor,
windmills are kind of the same thing. These things have
a twenty thirty year lifespan and then they're not recyclable.
As an advocate for sustainable energy or sustainable or anything,
that's got to drive you nuts because it does the
opposite of what they're selling it to do.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
And because I'm in the sector, there actually are a
lot of companies that are trying to figure out how
to recycle wind, turbine blades, solar panels. There's so many
recycling supply chains that have popped up as a byproduct
of Hey, we produce a lot of textiles, let's figure
out how to recycle them.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Okay, Greta Thunberg, are you familiar with child activist.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
I am familiar with Greta.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yes, Greta Thunberg is an autistic teenager. I guess she's
a young adult now who dropped out of high school
to become a science expert without knowing anything about science.
I have no problem with people that are on the spectrum, Jesse.
I'm probably on the spectrum a little bit. But Greta
Thumberg is this person who latched onto a little bit
of information, clearly been brainwashed. We've learned that her family
(34:03):
is part of the UN, that they're members of the
Climate Change Committee at the UN. And now we've learned,
weirdly enough, Greta Thunberg is on this boat and she's
traveling right now to Gaza. And I don't know if
you've watched this yet. I find this fascinating. I thought
this video had audio with it. I guess it doesn't, okay,
(34:23):
Greta Thumberg.
Speaker 7 (34:24):
Today, about months after our latest attempt to go on
with this mission, the boat was bombed twice with all
evidence just Israel. And we are doing this because we
have to keep our promise through the Palestinians to do
(34:45):
everything in our power to protest against the genocide and
to try to open up a humanitarian corridor and.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
Break the siege.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
All right, So she's on this boat and they claim
it's a climate friendly boat.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
You're probably wondering what this even has to do with.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
She's a famous climate change activist who has now been
brainwashed into being led off on a ship to Gaza
where she's going to bring aid to Like what, there's
two million people there.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
She's on a boat with thirty people.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Doesn't this kind of speak to how these young people
have been misled with dangerous information that's maybe doing more
harm than good. I mean, when she gets to Gaza,
what she's going to get beheaded by Hamas?
Speaker 5 (35:25):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I mean what chance does this woman?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
And earlier we looked at those statistics twenty percent of
young people go to sleep at night and lose sleep
over fear of climate change. I mean, there's a lot
of misinformation from people in the sustainable energy world, not
just related to sustainable energy, but look at what it's
doing to this poor young woman.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
And that fear is called climate alarmism, and it's actually
showing increases in rates of depression in gen Z right now.
I mean, I think even if Greta is well intentioned
the language climate change, climate crisis, global warming. These are
terms that immediately turn off fifty percent of the population.
And so if we're going to really transition into the
(36:06):
evolution of humanity and capitalism, we really have to zoom
out and say, what is a solution that works for
eighty percent of the people one hundred percent of the people,
and using terms like climate change isn't the path Kenny like,
climate change is the world is changing. If there's one
thing that's consistent on planet Earth, it is change. The
(36:26):
way the Democrats have framed climate change does not appeal
to fifty percent of the voters. So if everyone that
was talking about climate change and climate crisis and global
warming switched to talking about pollution, now we can get
eighty plus percent of the electorate on board with why
pollution is bad and how to solve for pollution.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
See again, anti pollution, I'm an advocate for it. Like
telling people this is causing hurricanes, I think that's grossly misleading.
I think it's dangerously misinformed, and misinformation is only going
to push people away.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
From this stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Next week, Jesse, the un is hosting a climate emergency meeting.
Imagine if you will ten thousand climate activists will jet
off to the French rivi Era in planes, many of
them flying private. If my friend Daniel Turner, an advocate
for the energy industry, I asked the question, if the
climate crisis is real, why aren't they having these meetings
(37:19):
on zoom? Why are they going to the French riviera
as if we don't know the answer.
Speaker 6 (37:23):
It's a great question. And this happens with the World
Economic Forum. This happens with all these big conferences where
the billionaires take their private jets in and then they
sit there and point fingers and say, how we're not
doing enough as citizens, but we need to shift or model.
It gets back to a linear model versus a circular model.
And there's companies out there in aviation, for example, if
we want to go down that rabbit hole that are
(37:43):
powering planes with hydrogen, that is an amazing, amazing opportunity.
I don't think electric is the way to go, but
there's a huge market also for sustainable aviation fuel. So
there are people in each of these sectors that are
trying to make moves.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Would you fly in a hydrogen powered plane? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (37:59):
My uncle is helicopters for a living. And he won't
get in one. Really, you're a very trustworthy person to
make that point.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
I don't know. I don't know if I would myself,
but it's an interesting question to ask Jesse Again.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I think you and I advocate for different things, but
I agree with the points you're making. I don't think
you're wrong about any of this stuff. I want less pollution.
I think most conservatives, right wingers, libertarians, I think we
want less pollution. We don't want to believe that we're
putting toxic sludge into things totally. The Maha movement proves
there's plenty of right wing Republicans that agree with the
(38:32):
points that you're making. Most people don't draw that line
between the food that we eat and the chemicals being
created from the energy industry. That's your entire world, right, Yeah,
you're a Maha guy. I am a Maha guy.
Speaker 6 (38:46):
Regardless of my support or lack thereof, for any political party,
I do support removing toxicity from pharma, food, agriculture, chemical sector.
These are overall good things. If you don't support removing
toxicity from these sectors, why.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
I know, I agree. I don't even like that system
of a downsong. I think it's sucks. So I did
your point, Jesse. If people want to learn more about
what you're doing, what can they do?
Speaker 6 (39:11):
They could go to Jesse Henry dot co to see
more about me and my personal site. If you're looking
to understand more about the chemicals that you use every day,
you can download an app called Yuko Yuka. You can
go to Yuca dot io, and you can scan the
barcodes on any supermarket to find out more about the
toxicity of the ingredients that you're using every day. If
you're looking at your hand soap, your deodorant, your toothpaste,
(39:34):
your mouthwash, and you're wondering are these things good for me?
I encourage you to go to a website ewg dot org,
forward slash skin deep and type in that chemical into
the EWG dot org search engine and figure out what
are the ingredients in this product? What are these ingredients
doing to my body? And are there more sustainable alternatives
(39:54):
that could support my long term health?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Jesse, you're a very different guy than the person I
hung out with last weekend at a row show when
we were watching a bunch of goth girls drink tequila
and throw up.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
All over themselves. A little different, right on, my man?
And are you on social media? You must be.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
I'm on social media, I'm on LinkedIn, I'm on Twitter,
I'm on Instagram sometimes. So just type in Jesse, Henry,
j E, sc H E n R Y and find
me there.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
My brother. Hey to the rest of you, thank you
so much for watching. Don't forget.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
I will be a tom Ball at what is it?
District two forty nine a week from this Friday. Find
great Walton and Johnson pursued a Happiness Radio merchant. I
love WJ dot com. You can always subscribe to our podcast.
You can follow me on social media by searching for
Kenny Webster. Have an awesome afternoon. We'll be back bright
and early tomorrow morning for more of what you bought
a radio for.
Speaker 8 (40:44):
You are listening to the Pursuit of Happiness Radio. Tell
the government to kiss yours when you listen to this show.
